Technical details
An authenticated authorization bypass exists in MCP Toolbox for Databases due to inconsistent scope enforcement across Model Context Protocol (MCP) handlers. While the 2025-11-25 protocol version correctly validates 'scopesRequired' for tool execution, older supported versions (2025-06-18, 2025-03-26, and 2024-11-05) omit these checks. A remote attacker with a valid low-privilege token (e.g., read-only) can bypass intended restrictions by setting the 'MCP-Protocol-Version' header to a vulnerable version or omitting it to trigger the default 2024-11-05 handler. This allows the execution of administrative tools. The issue was addressed by centralizing scope validation logic across all protocol versions.
